Framework For Voluntary Preparedness
• Requirements for supply chain security management systems can originate from a number of
sources, and ISO 28003:2007 has been developed to assist in the certification of supply chain
security management systems that fulfill the requirements of ISO 28000, Specification for
security management systems for the supply chain, and other supply chain security
management system International Standards. The contents of ISO 28003:2007 may also be
used to support certification of supply chain security management systems that are based on
other specified supply chain security management system requirements.
• ISO 28003:2007 also:
provides harmonized guidance for the accreditation of certification bodies applying for
ISO 28000 (or other specified supply chain security management system requirements)
certification/registration;
defines the rules applicable for the audit and certification of a supply chain security
management system complying with the supply chain security management system
standard's requirements (or other sets of specified supply chain security management system
requirements);
provides the customers with the necessary information and confidence about the way
certification of their suppliers has been granted.
